About the Artwork:
Untitled – Seascape (c. 1990s)
by Earlie Hudnall, Jr.
Earlie Hudnall, Jr. has been living and practicing photography in Houston for decades. Though Hudnall, Jr. is famous for photographing humans and cities, here is a landscape, which is when an image captures nature such as landforms, vegetation, or bodies of water, often with little to no human activity. This image is in greyscale, when colors are in a range of gray shades from white to black, allowing for a concentration of colors throughout. The sunlight causes some of the sea ripples and clouds to be white. However, some ocean waves and clouds are black, including the lone bird. Note the giant cloud in the background and its greyness; this appears to be a cumulonimbus cloud, a cloud in the form of a huge tower surrounded by smaller clouds. This cloud causes thunderstorms. Hudnall, Jr. captures a moment of serenity and force in nature.

Earlie Hudnall, Jr. ha vivido y practicado la fotografía en Houston durante décadas. Aunque Hudnall, Jr. es famoso por fotografiar humanos y ciudades, aquí es una fotografía de paisaje marino, que es cuando una imagen captura la naturaleza, como accidentes geográficos, vegetación o cuerpos de agua, a menudo con poca o ninguna actividad humana. Esta imagen está en escala de grises, cuando los colores están en una gama de tonos grises desde el blanco al negro, permitiendo una concentración de colores en todas partes. La luz del sol hace que algunas ondas del mar y las nubes sean blancas. Sin embargo, algunas olas del océano y nubes son negras, incluido el pájaro solitario. Observe la nube gigante en el fondo y su grisura; esto parece ser una nube cumulonimbos, una nube en forma de una enorme torre rodeada de nubes más pequeñas. Esta nube provoca tormentas eléctricas. Hudnall, Jr. captura un momento de serenidad y fuerza en la naturaleza.
